Year to year inflation figures are highly influenced by major cost of living expenses including things like mortgage/rent, auto, etc - most of which may be very stable over longer periods of time. While housing prices may increase, for example, long term financing mutes the that effect on cost of living increases for society as a whole and this is reflected in those figures.
Things that hit your pocketbook daily, weekly, monthly like food, gas, utilities, other essential purchases and nonessential expenses are much more volatile and can even go through negative cycles, which you never see in cost of living figures. Also, some of these are affected by societal changes, which rarely impact the basic sustenance expenses like shelter and food for example. So, long story short, you are better served comparing price increases inside a specific product sector, rather than the CLI.
I would categorize buying wrestling tickets as entertainment, which likely will have seen a higher increase than the CLI this century. I don’t know that for sure and I’m not inclined to do the research, so if someone is so inclined and I’m wrong, please correct me.
on here. Did i not already say i didn’t know the exact %’s? But hey, i guess 28% for 2 years and 17% for the next 2 isn’t that significant. THAT was the whole point, ticket prices have gone up. By a lot. So again, you’re a dumbass
